Episode description
For his new film ‘Never Look Away,’ director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck spent weeks cozying up to German artist Gerhard Richter, whose remarkable life story inspired the movie. Richter seemed OK with the script, but then trashed the film based just on the trailer. Von Donnersmarck is taking it in stride--Richter may not like ‘Never Look Away,’ but the Academy nominated it for best foreign language film.
